The unique and signature dimension of the program will be the genuinely comparative academic framework. This approach will equip students with the critical knowledge and skills to forge essential intellectual and personal connections. Graduates of this distinctive Three Campus Program will develop an enriched understanding of the dynamic relations amongst the three pre-eminent nations of East Asia (Japan, Korea and China) and the past, present and potential future pattern of relationships between East Asia and the wider world

Students in this program will have the opportunity to develop national competencies as a key foundation of regional and global competencies. In each of the three campuses/countries, they will study the economy, politics, culture and society of the respective nation (Japan, Korea, China). Their interdisciplinary studies and customized language courses will give them the necessary knowledge and tools to comprehend each of these complex and vibrant nations and this exciting region as a whole.

Students will have specially tailored opportunities to work and learn together through undertaking research and training in leading private and public institutions across East Asia, drawing on the prestigious local networks of Keio, Yonsei and Hong Kong Universities. The program will culminate with a summer internship in Hong Kong.
